I have been cruising for the last two weeks and only getting
bits and pieces of news on the ship but now that I am back, I see that there
are many issues to comment on.
One biggie is the decision of the Susan B. Komen for the
Cure Foundation to pull its financial support from the Planned Parenthood
organization; it has since reversed its decision after a national uproar.
But what happened. Both organizations help women. Since my
sister had breast cancer, we have been doing the Relay for Life every year and
contributing what we can to the fight against breast cancer. Planned Parenthood
provides breast screening for thousands of women who cannot afford health care
insurance so the two organizations seemed to be on the same page with similar
goals.
The Komen Foundation’s donations to Planned Parenthood go to
help finance breast cancer screenings.
BUT Planned Parenthood also performs abortions even though
performing abortions is a very small part of what it does for women’s health
and here is the rub!
Abortion is legal in this country and has been decreasing every year due to “planned
parenthood” get it? Teach people how to prevent unwanted pregnancy and
abortions will not be necessary.
Anyway, it appears that a Komen vice-president named Karen
Handel is a rabid anti-choice and anti-abortion extremist and had engineered
this move to stop funding Planned Parenthood and somehow slipped it under the
radar. Well you cannot just slip something like this under the radar and that
is why all hell broke loose…she has now resigned / got fired from her position.
My question here is that knowing that Planned Parenthood
helps thousands of women with their health issues when no one else will, why
would you want to cut off contributions to such a worthwhile organization?
And this is because anti-choice / abortion radicals are so
infatuated with fetus worship that they would actually do harm to living women
just to get their way. They are myopic to the max, not seeing the reality of
the issue at hand and that makes them dangerous to the max because they will
stop at nothing to achieve whatever crazy goal they have in mind.
I am glad to see this immediate coverage of the issue by the
media and especially the reaction on social media; can’t pull a fast one any
more. Hopefully the reaction to what Karen Handel tried to do will be a lesson
to all sane people as to the capabilities of the fetus worshipers.
